Exploring the Majestic World of Hippos:
Behemoth Size, Unique Habitat, Fascinating Diet and Beyond Hippos, short for hippopotamus, are the third-largest land mammal species, following elephants and white rhinos. Adult males can weigh between 1,500 to 1,800 kg, while females are slightly smaller, weighing between 1,300 to 1,500 kg. They are semi-aquatic mammals, spending most of their day submerged in rivers and lakes to keep their massive bodies cool under the hot African sun.
Hippos are native to Sub-Saharan Africa and are primarily found in countries like Tanzania, Zambia, Mozambique, and South Africa. Their diet is quite fascinating as well. Hippos are known to be herbivores, feeding mainly on grass, and they can consume up to 35 kg of it in a single night! They have a unique digestive system that allows them to ferment the grass, extracting the maximum amount of nutrients. Despite their size and diet, hippos are not immune to predators. They face threats from lions and crocodiles, but the most significant danger comes from human activities such as hunting and habitat loss.

However, it’s also important to note that these majestic creatures are under threat due to human activities. Hence, a collective effort is needed to protect and conserve them, ensuring that future generations can also marvel at their magnificence. As more people learn about hippos, it is hoped that they will be inspired to take action to preserve these amazing animals.

‘History longs to heal’: how Africa hopes to advance campaign for reparative justice
One afternoon last October, at a hotel in a forest in a Nairobi suburb, a few dozen people sat quietly in a room watching the 2020 documentary If Objects Could Speak, which explores restitution by tracing the roots of a Kenyan artefact stored in a German museum.-The people were at the two-day Wakati Wetu (“Our Time” in Swahili) festival, aimed at sparking global conversations on reparative justice.
Last month, the African Union adopted a motion put forward by Ghana to label slavery and colonialism as crimes against humanity. This month, the motion will be tabled at the United Nations, with demands made for redress.
The motion, which was first announced at the UN general assembly last September, is the latest move in a strategic push by the African continent to seek reparative justice.
The AU declared 2025 the year of reparations, with a theme of Justice for Africans and People of African Descent Through Reparations, marking the first time the 55-country bloc had put the issue at the centre of its agenda. By July, the AU had extended the timeline by declaring 2026 to 2036 the Decade of Reparations to mobilise support for justice.
For decades, African countries suffered numerous injustices by the west, including colonialism and the forced enslavement of its people. Efforts to redress these injustices and their lasting economic, social and psychological impacts have been few and far between, and largely confined to academia and nonprofit spaces. Progress has also been hindered by a lack of resources and coordinated strategy among activists, and reluctance by European governments to reopen old wounds.
With the Nairobi event, organisers hoped to get reparative justice movements on the continent to utilise arts and culture in their campaign. Liliane Umubyeyi, the co-founder and executive director of African Futures Lab, one of the organisers, said the arts could help make reparation discussions more accessible.
“The arts … can speak to each one of us as Africans,” she said. “Art is a universal way to experience things. You don’t have to have a degree to learn music.”
